Final Port of Call

We dreaded this morning – having to leave the ship for the last time.   Last evening we made sure we spoke with new friends we made on the trip to get them e-mail addresses and phone numbers.   We met really nice folks from Chicago, Las Vegas, Vancouver Island, Canada, Minneapolis, and Manteka, CA.   It’s amazing how you bond with the folks on a 12 day cruise.

As the Royal was not going to be leaving port again until the next day, we were able to leave our bags on the ship and take an excursion around Papeete for a couple of hours.   We got back on board for our final meal with the Royal Princess and grabbed a cab to the Radisson.  For the remainder of the day we just relaxed by the pool, had dinner and listened to the sound of the waves crashing onto the shore as we went to sleep.   This truly is paradise.
